Your Chances of Finding This Character: Been quite regular

General Info: Mater is a newer character at Disney World, making his debut in April 2006. He is from the 2006 Disney-Pixar movie Cars, and he makes appearances with race car Lightning McQueen. In the movie, Mater is not the brightest tow truck out there, but is a great friend to Lightning and helps him learn some much needed lessons! Mater and Lightning have been meeting at Disney-MGM Studios, in various places in the park. Check the Times Guide (that you pick up with the park map) for where they meeting, as they have different locations they been known to meet at. Mater and Lightning seem to be meeting quite regularly at Disney-MGM Studios, though that could change as their movie gets older. Later, Mater!

Character Hunting Tips: - Finding a beloved character can be a child (or adult's!) highlight of a trip to Disney World! On this page, we listed a character we met, also the places we seen this character on our week-long trips (Jan 2003, May 2003, Oct 2003, Jan 2004, April 2004, Oct/Nov 2004, April 2005, Oct 2005, December 2005, January 2006, May 2006, November 2006, February 2007, September 2007, January 2008, October 2008). Some characters were found by some fellow character hunters who were nice enough to help us out! Unfortunately, we aren't local to Florida (wish we were!!!), so we certainly don't know everything about every character! But we tried to list good places to look and recent reliable sightings of that character!

Must say, sometimes finding a favorite character can be difficult! One day you may see a bunch of characters in one spot, and the next day - not one! Some characters may be everywhere on one trip, and nowhere the next! And some characters come out only for 10 minute meets, then don't return for hours! Yikes! Your best bet to find your favorite character is to read various character websites (check links here!), or ask at Guest Relations at a Disney World park or resort (sometimes they can tell you where a character is meeting people that day), or check the Times Guide Map that you pick up when you enter the Disney World parks. Or just wander around and constantly look everywhere you go! Good luck character hunting!!
